Gone are the days when one would be heavily decked up in Gold and diamond jewelry in order to look rich and famous. These days the way to make the ultimate style statement is by wearing the most exclusive fashion or costume jewelry.


Earlier, this jewelry was more looked as the substitute for women who couldn’t afford to wear different jewelry made from the precious metals like gold, silver and platinum. But then as time passed these precious metals took a vast plunge in terms of the price tags. It was really not possible for the common man or rather woman to pick up matching jewelry with every outfit made from these precious metals.

However- as the saying goes necessity is the mother of invention. So there started a phase where a cheaper substitute for the expensive jewelry was being looked into. This experiment to get cheaper and more affordable jewelry had started since the early nineteenth century or probably much before that. The need for it continues till this day and age.

Thus as the demand for this cheaper but more beautiful jewelry grew, there came in an array of costume jewelry and the precious metals were replaced by other cheaper metals. With this began the journey of jewelry to be made from silver, brass, pewter, nickel, copper, oxidized iron and you name it.

Every possible metal has been included in making costume jewelry, which is affordable, beautifully crafted and has a vast choice of colors available for the customers to choose from.

There came a sort of revolution in the jewelry market with thousands of jewelry designers coming out of premier institutes from the world over giving out new ideas every day.

Thus today the choice is amazing in this segment. There are semi precious stones, glass, crystals, Swarovski, cubic Zircona, simulated diamonds artificial stones like garnets, rubies, and sapphires, all available in dazzling and amazingly crafted pieces of jewelry.

So to speak, artificial jewelry or costume jewelry is a great invention that has helped mankind, especially the women to satiate the thirst and love for jewelry. To conclude, it would suffice to say that is one of the most innovative and lucrative areas to be in today and is considered to be the ultimate fashion statement in the area of jewelry in our times.
